Format:DVD
This film is a must see if you have recollections of the pirate radio era. It conjures up the spirit of the time, if you are young then it's a good fun film which will give some idea of what brought about the sixties radio revolution in the UK. Great sixties rock music features throughout.
There are parallels with events that happened to Radio Caroline. The Boat That Rocked [DVD] [2009]
In addition to the main feature there are some very humorous director's cuts which deserve watching -they just couldn't allow the screen time.

There are some films that just take you out of yourself and transport you back to 'the good old days'. This is certainly one of those and as a bonus it's well produced, cast, acted and is very funny from start to finish. A great buy that I will watch time and time again.

A supremely funny film with great one liners from the wonderful Bill Nighy. Any film with him in is always worth watching.

Not Enough
A few 1960s hits do not rescue the film's poor direction, bad jokes and ham performances. A good drama about pirate radio deserves to be made and this is not it.
